The test identifies whether a student is college-ready or determines the type of courses or interventions needed to help them prepare for college-level work.<\/p>\n<p>Upon acceptance into the ECHS program, students are required to take the TSI test. To begin taking college classes at Da Vinci, students must achieve college-readiness scores in the English Language Arts (ELAR) section of the test. If they do not meet the college-readiness criteria initially, the ECHS program offers TSI preparation and re-testing opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Students must pass the TSI by the fall of their 10th-grade year and begin taking ECHS classes in the spring of 10th grade to qualify for the Associate Degree track. Those who pass the TSI by the summer before 11th grade may have the opportunity to complete the Core Curriculum track. Students who pass the TSI after this point may still have the chance to complete some ECHS courses by graduation, depending on their high school schedule.<br \/>\n<h2 id=\"espanol\">Espa\u00f1ol<\/h2>\nLa Escuela Preparatoria Temprana Da Vinci busca que nuestra poblaci\u00f3n estudiantil ECHS sea diversa.

La prueba identifica si un estudiante est\u00e1 listo para la universidad o determina el tipo de cursos o intervenciones necesarias para ayudarle a prepararse para el trabajo a nivel universitario.<\/p>\n<p>Al ser aceptados en el programa ECHS, los estudiantes deben realizar la prueba TSI. Para comenzar a tomar clases universitarias en Da Vinci, los estudiantes deben lograr puntajes de preparaci\u00f3n universitaria en la secci\u00f3n de Artes del Lenguaje Ingl\u00e9s (ELAR) de la prueba. Si no cumplen inicialmente con los criterios de preparaci\u00f3n universitaria, el programa ECHS ofrece oportunidades de preparaci\u00f3n para el TSI y la posibilidad de volver a realizar la prueba.<\/p>\n<p>Los estudiantes deben aprobar el TSI antes del oto\u00f1o de su a\u00f1o de 10.\u00ba grado y comenzar a tomar clases ECHS en la primavera de 10.\u00ba grado para calificar para la trayectoria de los creditos universitarios.
